It would be really terrific if the J/42 fleet could repeat the success it had in the Newport-Bermuda 2007 Race where we had 9 boats on the start line!   It was our very own fleet start line and scoring....we had it all to ourselves.  Racing against boats that were all the same type was SO much more enjoyable than regular handicap racing.  No pesky Swans to contend with :-)

So let's see if we can get a great turnout for the fleet again - this time for the Marblehead to Halifax Race starting July 8.  The Boston Yacht Club in Marblehead is sponsoring the race and that is my club too and where I keep my J/42 Amigo VI.

Registration is now open so signup on the Marblehead to Halifax website today!  And drop me an email when you do or if you  have any questions.
